Abstract

The present invention relates to novel N- and optionally N'-substituted (N-dichloroacetyl)glycine amides of the formula I with antidote action, to antidote compositions containing such compounds, to selective herbicide compositions containing these antidotes together with herbicidally active compounds and to a method for treating cultivated plants with said compositions.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to novel N- and optionally N'-substituted (N-dichloroacetyl)glycine amides of the formula ##STR1## with an antidote action, to antidote compositions containing such compounds, to selective herbicide compositions containing these antidotes together with herbicidally active compounds, preferably thiolcarbamates of the formula ##STR2## or chloroacetanilides of the formula ##STR3## and to a method for treating cultivated plants with said compositions. The invention further relates to the preparation of the compounds of the formula I.
In the formula I
R1 and R2 are the same or different, and represent hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl, unsubstituted phenyl or phenyl substituted by alkyl, dialkyl or halo or together form a hexamethylene group,
R3 is alkyl or alkenyl.
The thiolcarbamate derivatives of the formula III are widely used for controlling weeds, especially monocotyledous weeds in plant cultivation. In the formula III
R4 and R5 are the same or different, and represent alkyl, cycloalkyl or together form a hexamethylene group,
R6 stands for alkyl.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The most widely used thiolcarbamate derivatives are the N-N-diisobutyl-S-ethyl thiolcarbamate (Butilate), the N,N-di(n-propyl)-S-ethyl thiolcarbamate (EPTC), the N,N-di(n-propyl)-S-(n-propyl)thiolcarbamate (Vernolate), the N,N-diethyl-S-ethyl thiolcarbamate (Ethiolate), the N-ethyl-N-butyl-S-ethyl thiolcarbamate (Pebulat), the N-ethyl-N-cyclohexyl-S-ethyl thiolcarbamate (Cikloat) and N,N-hexamethylene-S-ethyl thiolcarbamate. (Molinat).
Similarly, the chloroacetanilides of the formula IV are also widely used. In the formula IV
R7 and R8 are the same or different and represent an alkyl group,
R9 stands for alkyl, alkenyl, alkoxyalkyl or pyrazolylalkyl.
The most widely used chloroacetanilide derivatives for controlling monocotyledonous weeds are the 2-chloro-N-isopropylacetanilide (Propachlor), the 2-chloro-2',6-diethyl-N-(methoxymethyl)acetanilide (Alachlor), the 2-chloro-2'-methyl-6'-ethyl-N-(ethoxymethyl)acetanilide (Acetochlor) and the 2-chloro-2',6'-diethyl-N-(buthoxymethyl)acetanilide (Butachlor).
But both types of these two active ingredients have the disadvantage that their effective amount for controlling monocotyledonous weeds also damages the cultivated plant to be protected, that is, they are phytotoxic, therefore these compounds have a decreased applicability. Otherwise, if they are used in such an amount which is not phytotoxic for the cultivated plant, their herbicidal activity is substantially diminished.
Some two decades ago Hoffman discovered that there are compounds as, for example, the 1,8-naphthalic acid anhydride derivatives which decrease the phytotoxic effect of these compounds, i.e. there exist compounds which counteract the damaging effect of the thiolcarbamates when applied together with the thiolcarbamates.
Since then multilateral search was conducted in order to find compounds of antidote effect and such antidote compositions are referred to in countless patent specifications.
For example, the Hungarian patent specification No. 165,736 reports on the antidote effect of compounds of dichloroacetamide type, from which the N,N-diallyl-2,2-dichloroacetamide (R-25,788) is now the most widely used in practice.
The Hungarian patent specification No. 168,977 describes oxazolidine and thiazolidine type antidotes, the Hungarian patent specification No. 170,214 refers to thiazolidine sulphoxide type antidotes, the Hungarian patent specification No. 173,755 reports on antidotes of sulphide-type, the Hungarian patent specification No. 176,867 describes oxazolidine derivatives, the Hungarian patent specification No. 179,643 reports on N-(benzoylsulphonyl)-carbamate, the Hungarian patent specification No. 180,069 refers to N-(benzoylsulphonyl)-thiolcarbamate, while the Hungarian patent specification No. 180,068 describes 2,3-dibromopropionamide derivatives as antidotes.
The Hungarian patent specifications No. 176,458 and 176,784 disclose dichloroacetamide type antidotes as well.
The Hungarian patent specification Nos. 176,669, 176,796, 178,883, 178,892, 178,985, 179,092 and 179,093 report on the antidote effect of dicarboxylic acid derivatives of different structure from the above-cited dichloroacetamide derivatives.
The great number of the patent specifications show that, in spite of the wide search, nobody has managed to find compounds which could be generally used in the protection of cultivated plants against the damaging effect of certain herbicidally active agents. This fact is also supported by the failure of the searches directed to the revelation of the mechanism of the antidote effect. Namely, the researchers do not assume a uniform attitude concerning the biochemical reactions when the antidote is added to the herbicide and the influence of the antidote compounds on the processes brought about by the herbicidal compounds in the cultivated plants. The environmental constituents (e.g. temperature, humidity and pH of the soil) exerting an influence on the plants simultaneously with the effect of the herbicides used for the treatment and the physical properties (vapour pressure, solubility in water) of the herbicidally active agents multilaterally and diversely influence the damaging effect of the herbicides.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In the course of our experiments directed to the decreasing of the harmful effect of herbicidally active agents of thiolcarmabate and chloroacetanilide type it has been found that the N- and optionally N'-substituted (N-dichloroacetyl)glycine amides of the formula I are able to prevent the phytotoxic effect of the above-mentioned active agents.
In the formula I
R1 and R2 are the same or different, and represent hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl, unsubstituted phenyl or phenyl substituted by alkyl, dialkyl or halo or together form a hexamethylene group,
R3 is alkyl or alkenyl.
From compounds of the formula I those are preferred in which formulae
R1 and R2 are the same or different and represent hydrogen, alkyl containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms, alkenyl containing 5 to 6 carbon atoms, unsubstituted phenyl or phenyl substituted by alkyl containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms, dialkyl containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety or halo, or together form a hexamethylene group,
R3 stands for alkyl containing 1 to 5 carbon atoms or alkenyl containing 2 to 5 carbon atoms.
In the course of our experiments it was found that the compositions containing 0.1 to 80% by weight of a compound of the formula I, optionally 20 to 90% by weight of a carrier and/or diluent and 0.5 to 20% by weight of one or more excipients are suitable for the protection of cultivated plants against the damaging effect of herbicidally active agents if these compositions are applied just before, simultaneously or after the treatment with the herbicidally active agents.
Our experiments proved that the herbicide compositions containing a compound of the formula I and a thiolcarbamate of the formula III are effective against weeds while they do not harm the cultivated plants in any sense. From compounds of the formula III those are preferred, in which formulae
R4 and R5 are the same or different and represent alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl containing 5 to 6 carbon atoms or together form a hexamethylene group,
R6 stands for alkyl containing 1 to 5 carbon atoms.
Our experiments also proved that herbicide compositions containing a compound of the formula I and a chloroacetanilide of general formula IV are suitable for controlling monocotyldeonous weeds without any damage of the cultivated plant.
From compounds of the formula IV those are preferred in which formulae
R7 and R8 are the same or different and represent alkyl of 1 to 5 carbon atoms,
R9 stands for alkyl containing 1 to 5 carbon atoms, alkenyl containing 2 to 5 carbon atoms, alkoxyalkyl or pyrazolylakyl.
The compounds of the formula I can be prepared by reacting a compound of the formula ##STR4## wherein the substituents are the same as defined above, with dichloroacetyl chloride, optionally in a solvent medium, in the presence of an acid-binding agent. As solvents those which are inert under the reaction conditions, preferably halogenated hydrocarbons can be used.
The hydrochloric acid formed during the reaction can be bonded by bases, preferably alkaline metal carbonates, alkaline metal bicarbonates or organic amines.
The starting materials are reacted in substantially molar equivalent amounts, but the dichloroacetyl chloride is preferably used in a small excess.
The reaction should be carried out at temperatures lower than room temperature. After the reaction is completed, the reaction mixture is allowed to warm up to room temperature; thereafter the end-product is recovered by conventional means.

In the course of our experiments it was found that compounds of the formula I significantly reduced the well-known damaging effect of the thiolcarbamate and acetanilide herbicides of the formulae III and IV on cultivated plants, especially on maize. In order to determine the relationship between the dose applied and the effect achieved, experiments were carried out by using the compound of the formula I. The experiments showed that the addition of the compound of the formula I as an antidote in an amount of 0.5 to 64% by weight based on the amount of the herbicide used in the practice, said amount being taken as 100%, significantly increased the measured or estimated efficiency with a probability level of 95%.
The biological experiments carried out by using the formulations according to the invention are shown by the following Examples.
EXAMPLE 59
The test series were carried out in pots of a surface of 1.13 dm2 in four replicate.
Firsty 400 g. of air dry field soil/Arany-type impermeable number: 61; pHH.sbsb.2O =7.5/ sieved on a sieve with holes of 2 mm, containing 1.4% of humus were charged to the pots, thereafter the seeds of the test plants were placed onto it. 15 seeds/pot of maize (Zea mays), variety MVTC-596 and 0.5 g/pot of green foxtail (Setaria viritus) were used. Then the seeds were covered by 200 g. of soil, and the soil was treated by spraying the formulations according to the invention.
Based on the surfaces of the pots the amounts of the compositions were calculated as 1/ha. In order to prepare the spray, 20-20 ml. of water were added to the compositions.
After the treatment with the formulations, a further 100 g. of soil were charged into the pots, thereafter the pots were irrigated with an amount of water corresponding to the 65% of the water capacity of the soil, and in the course of growing the same humidity of the soil was assured by daily irrigations. The plants were cultivated under light substituting HgMI/D 400 W lamps in a lighting cycle of 14 hours. The daily average temperature was 25° C.
(minimum: 23° C.: maximum: 27° C.).
In order to evaluate the results, plants untreated with herbicides were also grown as controls.
The efficiency of the compositions according to the invention was compared to that of the compositions containing N,N-diallyl-2,2-dichloroacetamide (R-25,788) as a known antidote.
The evaluation was carried out on the 14th day counted from the day of the treatment by measuring the lenght of the maize sprout and observing the changes on the exterior of the maize. The changes in the shapes were evaluated according to the following scale:
100% healthy, unharmed maize
87% mild twist and deformation of the leaf
75% medium twist of the stem, leaf deformation
50% complete deformation, the growth and the development of the plant stopped.
The green foxtail seeded as monocotyledonus weed was controlled in every treatment, therefore it can be established, that the antidote action of compounds of the formula I is not extended to that weed.

EXAMPLE 60
The effect of the different doses of compound 24 of Table I possessing antidote activity was tested. The test was carried out according to Example 59. The sprays were made from the compositions according to Examples 20 to 58.
For comparing the effect of the antidote, control maize plants were treated with EPTC, Vernolate, Butilate, Alachlor, Ethiolate, Acetochlor and with compositions containing these compounds as active ingredients and R-25,788 as antidote.
The maize sprout length and the change of the shape of the maize were measured and evaluated.
The results of the tests are listed in Tables V, VI, VII, VIII, IX and X.

The above Tables show that the antidotes according to the invention are advantageous in comparison to the known, widely used R-25,788 antidote when they are used in a dose of 0.5 to 2% calculated for the weight of the herbicidally active agent. If the antidote according the invention is used in higher concentrations, there could not be shown any difference between the effect of this antidote and R-25,788. A 4 to 16% dose of the antidotes assured healthy, symptomless maize.
The novel N- and optionally N'-substituted /N-dichloroacetyl/glycine amides of the invention enhance the selectivity of the thiolcarbamate and chloroacetanilide type herbicides, i.e. they eliminate the non-desired phytotoxic activity of the said compounds without decreasing their excellent herbicidal activity.
